Newly released video shows a Chicago police officer firing gunshots that fatally wounded the driver of an SUV that pinned the cop against a police vehicle three months ago.

The incident took place Sept. 10 in the Hanson Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side.

The video, released Thursday evening , shows the SUV driven by Juan Flores, 19, reversing rapidly and slamming into the police vehicle and pinning an officer identified in records as Jesse Oeinck. The officer, who joined the force in April 2015, fired five shots from his Glock 9 mm into the SUV before it rolled slowly away, freeing Oeinck, according to the records and video.

The footage then shows Oeinck lowering himself to the pavement in front of the police vehicle. He suffered a broken leg and remains on medical leave from the department, police officials said.

Flores died a few minutes after the 1 a.m. shooting, Cook County medical examiner’s office personnel said at the time. Officials from the office were not available to discuss his wounds or toxicology results Friday, when many government agencies observed Veterans Day.

Neither Oeinck nor Flores’ family could be reached for comment.

Chicago police have repeatedly sparked controversy by shooting into cars that are pulling away — generally a violation of department policy. But Flores’ shooting differs in that the video shows the SUV slammed into the police vehicle and pinned Oeinck, hurting him severely.

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability has yet to announce the results of its investigation.

The footage, which includes clips from body cameras and dash cameras, indicates the incident happened after Flores drove away from a party after a dispute. Police were following him as he pulled into a driveway and then reversed, crashing into the police vehicle and pinning the officer, the footage shows.
